Itinerario
Conor Pass se eleva 456 pies verticalmente desde el mar, para servir como pasaje entre Sliabh Mish Range y Mount Brandon. Es la carretera de montaña más alta de Irlanda. Esta sinuosa ruta alpina ofrece vistas impresionantes para aquellos lo suficientemente valientes como para recorrer el camino empinado donde las ovejas de Blackface Mountain son más abundantes que los automóviles. La cima del paso ofrece impresionantes vistas de Brandon Bay al norte y Dingle Bay al sur. A medida que avanzamos, el paisaje se transforma en un profundo circo glaciar, salpicado de magníficos lagos alpinos y cascadas. Muchos viajeros se saltan esta ruta porque es difícil, pero con Mossie's Tours, puedes sentarte y disfrutar de la vista.
Donde la península de Dingle se encuentra con el Océano Atlántico, Slea Head Drive serpentea y gira a lo largo de la costa rocosa. Este tramo de 30 km (18 m) de la conocida Ruta Atlántica Salvaje ha sido aclamado por National Geographic como uno de los lugares más pintorescos del mundo. Siéntese y deje que nuestros conductores expertos lo lleven a lo largo de este impresionante viaje mientras descubre sitios conocidos como Ventry Beach, antiguos fuertes circulares y cabañas colmena junto con impresionantes vistas de las islas Blaskets y Skellig. Ni siquiera Hollywood pudo resistir el atractivo de Slea Head. Algunas de las mejores películas épicas de Hollywood, como Ryan's Daughter, Far and Away y Star Wars, han utilizado esta región como escenario. Utilice Mossie's Tours para descubrir la belleza etérea.
Una de las características más curiosas de la península de Dingle son las cabañas Fahan Beehive. Estas cabañas de la Edad del Hierro con voladizos de piedra seca deben su nombre a la forma única del edificio. El grupo Fahan está compuesto por 19 clochans (chozas colmena) subterráneas y 18 en pie. Nuestros guías lo guiarán a través de piedras con inscripciones, cruces esculpidas y fuertes circulares de tierra. Si escuchas con atención, es posible que puedas escuchar las canciones de nuestros antepasados llevadas por el viento. Y tal vez, si tienes suerte, puedas sostener un corderito.
Los pescadores locales llevaban sus botes currach a las rocas en la modesta playa de marea de Coumeenole antes de subir la pendiente hacia las viviendas más allá. Es decir, hasta 1968, cuando comenzó la construcción de los decorados de La hija de Ryan, la película épica de David Lean. Para acomodar la cámara, el sonido y otros equipos cinematográficos, se amplió y pavimentó la larga rampa para botes. Esas mejoras todavía están presentes hoy.
Haremos una breve pausa para estirar las piernas antes de realizar la fácil subida a la cima de Dunmore Head, uno de los puntos más occidentales de Europa. Una solitaria piedra Ogham, una reliquia de nuestro pasado lejano, vigila el mar desde ese lugar como un centinela. Respire hondo y mire hacia el lugar donde se ahogaron Santa María de la Rosa y San Juan, dos barcos de la Armada española, en 1588. Posiblemente una manada de delfines saldrá a la superficie mientras mira y asomará sus cabezas sobre el agua.
Kilmalkedar es un sitio eclesiástico normando temprano y un monumento nacional.

Helen guided my husband Steve and me on an incredible daylong tour of the Dingle Peninsula. Her knowledge of the landscape, its history and lore are far-reaching and her telling of it enchanting! She was generous with her time, and made us feel comfortable and welcome. She customized the tour in ways that were responsive to our special interests. In addition to all that, she made certain to help us capture great photos together in stunning locations. We can’t say enough about how much we enjoyed our tour and time with Helen! We highly recommend booking a tour with Mossie’s Tours!
Our tour with Mossie was the highlight of our trip! We were all educated and entertained (ages 14-56)! The thoughtfulness and personal touches Mossie built in to our adventure made the experience extra special. Between identifying “the best” hot chocolate in Dingle, to having a laugh as a new member of our family, our day was unforgettable. Just when you thought you heard the best Mossie story of the day….he would tell you another. He was flexible, creative, adventuresome, and caring. Do. Not. Miss.
Mossie was our guide for a full-day tour of the Dingle Peninsula, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. His knowledge of Irish history is second to none, and his passion for sharing it made the tour both informative and enjoyable. He was also incredibly flexible and willing to customize the day based on our interests, which made the experience even more special. We never felt rushed and were able to spend extra time at the places that interested us most. We highly recommend Mossie to anyone looking to explore the Dingle Peninsula.
It pains me to have to admit that I’ve waited a year to write this review. Mossie deserves so much better. This was, without a doubt, one of the best and most enchanting days of our lives. The weather was so foul, but none of it mattered. Mossie opened our eyes to the beauty of it all and our minds to the historical context of it all. He is a treasure and a joy to spend time with. We’re already talking about returning and coaxing him into doing a full week around the country tour. I’ve told everyone who asks: if you’re going to Dingle, seek out no one else. It doesn’t get any better.
Mossie, Lori and I wanted to thank you for such a beautiful day. Your kindness and humor will stay with us for a lifetime. We truly felt we made a lifetime friend. Blessings to you and Helen, Brian and Lori Horn
It’s not an exaggeration to say that this incredible day we spent with Mossie was THE HIGHLIGHT of our entire wonderful week in Ireland. He took us to hidden gems we never would have had been able to see without him. His wealth of knowledge was only matched by his sense of humor and the passion he shares with his guests. We were entertained, fascinated, touched, and amazed by the experiences he related, the places he took us, and the scenery around us. His own memories lent a personal touch that we treasured and will never forget. Please be sure you include Mossie’s Tours in your trip to Ireland. There simply is no one better. Chef’s kiss.
The highlight of our wonderful trip to Ireland! Mossie knows everything about the area (geographically, historically, etc) and is very engaging and a great storyteller. Make sure he tells you about his own upbringing on a farm in the area. An extra kindness: I realized about an hour after our tour ended that I had left a shirt in the van. Mossie was kind enough to deliver it to us at the pub where we were having post-tour pints!
Mossie is the consummate guide, with very safe driving skills and an impressive knowledge base. Our day flew by as he catered our drive tour to our desires and physical capabilities. We could not have asked for more.
My wife, daughter, and I did a full day trip with Helen as our guide on the Dingle Peninsula this past July. Helen was a fabulous guide. She is a safe, concientious driver and she kindly picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel in Brandon. We wanted to see the captivating views on the coast, walk on a beach, and see some historical and archaeological sites, as well as visit the Blasket Centre museum, and we got to do all of that. Helen thoughtfully helped us decide what exactly to do and she was full of interesting information and stories. She was the perfect guide for us. Helen was very good with our daughter, who is 11 years old and loves animals, and helped us ensure that she had a good trip full of interesting adventures. The weather was cloudy and misty with some rain but that was what we were expecting and Helen took us to a sandy beach for a nice stroll during one of the relative dry periods of the day. My family and I are Americans who are proud of our Irish heritage and I'm grateful that Helen taught us so much about this part of Ireland and its natural environment, vibrant Gaeltacht culture, and long history, including how its people were affected by the Great Famine. I highly recommend Helen as a guide for anyone who is interested in a deep, immersive type of experience. I am fluent in Irish and I greatly enjoyed chatting as Gaeilge with Helen, who is a native Irish speaker from this area and a gifted conversationalist in Irish and English. To spend a day exploring this magnificent corner of the world with a kind, erudite local guide such as Helen was a once-in-a-lifetime type of experience for my family and I but we are planning on doing it again the next time we visit Ireland.
Mossie was an incredible tour guide. Loved having a tour with him as he grew up in the area and his first hand knowledge of the area and history added another level of an already great tour. We saw some incredible views, learned some interesting history and Mossie was one of the best tour guides we have ever had.
